Objectives and Performance

2025/26 Annual Plan Objective Cabinet Portfolio
Provide a swifter response when attending our clients who have fallen to avoid them waiting extended periods for an ambulance. We will also provide non-emergency patient transport so that our residents can get to and from hospital more easily. Climate Change & Wellbeing
Deliver more Disabled Facilities Grants now that we have increased the maximum grant aid limit to £30,000. These grants go towards funding the cost of adaptations and/or facilities in people’s homes. Community Services
Enable young people to access and take part in a range of activities that they might not ordinarily be able to afford by continuing to run a programme of out of school activities. Climate Change & Wellbeing
Work with Surrey County Council and others to seek to re-provide the space for users of the Bridge Youth Centre in Leatherhead, which has had to close for safety reasons due to the discovery of reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC). Property & Projects
Adopt a new Affordable Housing Strategy for Mole Valley which will include an action to investigate Mole Valley District Council becoming a registered provider and developing its own affordable housing. Community Services / Property & Projects
Spend money (from Community Infrastructure Levy and Section 106 agreements) to fund Council Priorities, including affordable housing and the infrastructure communities need. We will develop a forward plan for the allocation of strategic CIL to ensure growth is coupled to infrastructure funding.*

* The Community Infrastructure Levy cannot be used for affordable housing
